Topic: How are you today?
Mr. Parcelan
posted 11-15-2006 06:07:30 AM
I am doing quite well. I have been handed some items that I might qualify as "good news" lately.

The English Department here has something called the "Literary Cat Award." It's a prize of three hundred dollars awarded to the person with the best original short story or poem under five hundred words and involving a cat. I wrote four hundred and ninety nine word story about a guy who murders his mistress by shoving a cat down her throat. Nice.

What are you doing today? Will it be a busy day?

I found out my story for my class isn't due until the week after Thanksgiving. That gives me more time to think about it.

Are you looking forward to Thanksgiving? It is a fun holiday.

My mom offered me one of her apartments to live in. It has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room and a kitchen. That's a big step-up from my current one bedroom, one bathroom, living room-kitchenette combination situation here. Most importantly, it has a yard for my little runts to go play in (and poop in). I am very excited.

How is your living arrangement today?

How is your job?

How is your spouse or significant other or shrimp bait barn?

I'm doing some work, and hopefully I'll pick up Medieval 2 today. But goddammit, I'm calling first!

Are you looking forward to Thanksgiving? It is a fun holiday.

Yes, because I'm spending the whole week with the in-laws. Which should be bad, but we'll be in the Florida Keys, which will be good! I've got my banana hammock all packed.

Still near school, I assume? No degenerate negroes in the neighborhood, I hope...

Same as it was yesterday: a nice townhome in the suburbs.

How is your job?

Job is fine, but the commute is killing me. I hope to have a new job by the first of the year.

She is overworked and underappreciated...not by me, of course.

1: Not a whole lot. I have a cold and no job, so I'm chillaxin'.

2: Uh, I dunno. Don't have any plans right now.

3: It's a madhouse, dawg. Five adults, two kids, two dogs, in a three-bedroom. At least the AC's working now, it hasn't been for the last few days.

4: Non-existant. I had a job interview scheduled yesterday, but he called to reschedule at the last minute, citing a family medical emergency. 4pm tomorrow is the new time, but I'm not hopeful of it happening at all. Florida sucks.

5: He's just fine

So far I've baked bread and worked on a Christmas present. Later I'll clean, waste time online, look for a job; you know, the same old stuff.

Are you looking forward to Thanksgiving? It is a fun holiday.
Why yes I am. It's just me, the better half, and the kidlet at home and then the weekend after we're going to my dad's for the weekend. There is supposed to be a mystery guest *cough*Deth*cough* there to surprise the kidlet.

My mom offered me one of her apartments to live in. It has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room and a kitchen. That's a big step-up from my current one bedroom, one bathroom, living room-kitchenette combination situation here. Most importantly, it has a yard for my little runts to go play in (and poop in).

Sweet deal. Now you and the fuzzies can pick up new chicks.

How is your living arrangement today?

Just fine. Cookie cutter neighborhoods aren't so bad, the house is awesome, and I have a back yard I can play in without fear of whale-sized redneck neighbors sunning themselves in their skivvies (on the other hand, they're building a townhome community along our property line and 5:30 am is too freaking early to start work, damnit).

How is your job?

Still looking. I had to really good interviews last week, both of which I am hopeful to hear back on (one moreso than the other). Should hear something either way by the end of this week. Or so they told.

Fantastic. 'Tis the season to buy a new car with major rebates so he's been uber busy at work.

Today is the day I was supposed to close on my new townhouse. This may or may not have been pushed back to friday. I honestly don't know. I've been calling the mortgage company and my agent a half dozen times this morning to find out what the hell is going on, and getting nowhere

So, I might own my own place by this weekend. Or I might own it sometime next week. Either way, I will own my own place soon, and I am excited to get in there ASAP.

1. Probably not. I have to get my car looked at soon but it likely won't be today. So I'm just going to sit on my ass and wait for next week.

2. Yes and no. As soon as I eat on Thanksgiving, I'm out of here, and I won't be coming back, and that's kind of a weird feeling.

3. My living arrangement right now is about as comfortable as it can be because I'm leeching off of my father. Starting next week it probably won't be so good, and I'll be living in the middle of a big city and shit, but whatever, I can cope. Sometimes life is too easy anyway.

4. No job at the moment. I have a few job leads in Atlanta, but nothing solid.

5. She's well enough. Our relationship is a whole different story for a whole different post. It's been pretty crazy, but hey, we're moving in together.

I like the sound of that story and believe you have a rather good chance of winning. =D Will you be posting it?

For me it has not been a busy day as such. I've been fully embracing my life as a boring person in that i've taken up knitting. Ok I kid, i've got plans, including a trip to London in the next few days to work on a photography project, which I shall elaborate on in the "work" part.

I'd appreciate Thanksgiving a lot more if I celebrated it.

My living arrangement could be better. I'd really like to get myself a place in my home town but can't really do so until I finish university. I currently rent an apartment where I study but am never there because it's crap and i'm in the process of ending the contract so I may commute to uni.

I'm trying to get my job back as my financial situation is depressing. Uni wise i'm doing a project on CCTV and another on family photography. I'm also writing an essay with the intentions of being the first person I know of on the course to ever get a first (Or an 'A') for anything.

My Gentleman Friend is fine. He's currently having a leisurely read in the bath. I've decided he needs to do something with his hair because it sticks up and makes him look like a lab technician from my university's life science department.

It has occured to me i've never really had a conversation with Parcelan. Am I missing out?

I didn't do much. Finished reading Tuesdays With Morrie for a class, have to write up a journal entry type deal on it. Then have to work on a Character Analysis for my part in a scene of a play for Acting I (due in one week).

Are you looking forward to Thanksgiving? It is a fun holiday.

Mmm. Food. I like food.

How is your living arrangement today?

A bit messy, but otherwise a nice little apartment. Though we still get raped for electricity which means our AC = opening a window.

How is your job?

I still love it every day. Can't beat writing video game reviews for $$$.

Woke up at 9, heard roommate in shower, slept for another hour. Hit campus, banged head against homework for a bit. Went to class. Ate lunch. Went to class. Came home for dinner. Will be finishing homework and going into lab if it's before 2Am tonight.

In short, lots and yes.

Not really. I think I'm going to a Sharks game on Wednesday though.

2: Thanksgiving is long gone in Canada. We have for some time been on the long, slow, freezing decline towards Christmas. I do have some stuff to look forward to, just not Thanksgiving.

Today I am lifting weights and going to work. It will be somewhat busy but not in the truly busy sense. I probably won't get everything finished at work.

Thanksgiving is not a holiday for me, it's a meal. As such, holy shit.

Burn in hell.

My living arrangement is with my parents. In other words, it rules.

My job is annoying. I perform all the actions of a super spy, but get paid 10 cents over minimum. Perhaps I will quit and get a paper route because I am lazy.

My significant other left me for a girl. It seems as though I have a date with a saucy young lady next week.

God damn it.

1:I'm working today. I might go home and WoW or finally finish my play through of KH.

2:Thanksgiving, I will probably be home alone, playing with my Wii....naked.

3:I live with my parents whilst i go to school and work.

4:My job is pretty crappy. Since the owner of the theater is an ass, he decided that he wouldn't pay Disney the money he owned them for 2 "copies" of Pirates of the Carribean 2, that he would split into two halves and make us move the halves between shows, so he could show it on 2 screens. Well, we got rid of an employee recently who was more horrible than me, and since he "wanted to get back at" the owner, he reported the split to Disney. So i may not have a job in a couple of weeks, because i know the owner doesn't have enough money to keep running this theater and feed his drug habit. The thing my former coworker failed to realize, is that he also screwed the rest of us out of a job. So im kinda looking for a new job.

5:Well, lacking a spouse and a significant other, i guess i should start building a shrimp bait barn.

I spent the day moving out of halls. It involved a whole lot of heavy lifting. Tomorrow I shall do some gardening, and it will involve a whole lot of manual labour.

Oh! I also got an 1884 copy of The Count of Monte Cristo. It feels wonderful in the hands.

I don't get to play. We stole someone else's land.

How is your living arrangement today?

Back at home for a little while. This is not particularily good. I need my own space.

How is your job?

Both dangerously unpaid. I'm doing some science for a group of animal shelters, at the behest of some family. The shelters can't afford to pay me, but it does get my name in the journals once I'm done. I've also been doing the fireman thing.

If I'm not getting money, I damn well want the credit.

As for money, my tutoring has dried up for the moment, because school's out. No-one needs a tutor over the summer. Also, the newsagent I worked at last year's gone bust. I have to get some money work. My charity only goes so far.

How is your spouse or significant other or shrimp bait barn?

Finished. Probably the most enjoyable relationship I've ever had. I want another, and soon. I haven't had any in weeks.

This time of year's usually a small setback, but I'll have it all sorted in no time flat.
